Circle Page #3

Synopsis: In a massive, mysterious chamber, fifty strangers awaken to find themselves trapped with no memory of how they got there. Every two minutes, one of them must die... Executed by an electrical pulse generated from a source within the chamber. At first the attacks seem random, but, soon the strangers realize that they, as a group, have the power to decide who will be the next to be killed: by the power of the vote. Mob mentality at its finest hour. A chance to control the machine. How will they choose who deserves to die? What happens when there's only one person left? "Circle" is a film about humanity. How we value one another and how people react when they are forced to make decisions under the worst possible circumstances. It's a film that speaks to the very core of what makes us human - Who we are, what we believe and ultimately, the lengths we will go to in which to save ourselves.

killing off people

over 40 next?

I'm 43.

You gonna kill me next,

a**hole?

- Hey, you got a problem?

- Yeah, I got a problem.

I think maybe

anyone over the age

of, maybe, I don't know, 35

might have a problem.

What do you guys think?

Okay, hey, now...

just hold on a second.

Let's...

I'm just trying to help.

F*** you.

Listen.

We Can't be afraid to talk

to each other in here.

It's the only way We're gonna

figure out how to stop this.

Come on, man.

We're not gonna stop this.

We're just f***ed.

We don't know that.

Exactly... we don't know

anything yet.

If they wanted to kill us, they

Would have done that already,

but they didn't.

So let's use this time

and try and figure out why.

Okay.

What do we do?

Maybe we should figure out

why they chose us.

Chose us?

Yeah.

Why they picked us

to be in here.

It was a giant space vacuum,

right?

I don't think

we were hand-picked.

Yeah, he's right.

This is... this is just random.

We don't know that.

Maybe it wasn't random.

Maybe they chose us

for a reason.

There's probably a zillion

people doing the same thing.

We're doing right now.

Okay, but it's just us in here,

right?

I think we need to know

more about each other.

Maybe if we do,

this will all make sense.

It's worth a shot.

Anybody want to start?

Uh, yeah.

I'll go first.

Hi, I'm Beth.

Um, I live

in woodland hills, California,

but originally

I'm from Richmond, Virginia...

born and raised.

I've worked in human resources

for the past 11 years.

Um, I just kind of fell into it.

I actually went to college

to be an English major...

university of Virginia.

Go Wahoos.

I'm 36, single.

No kids.

But I do have two nephews

from my sister Noreen.

She's actually my twin sister.

What else? Um...

Oh, I have a dog.

Her name is Cloody,

and she's a terrier mix.

And I have two cats,

J.J. And Ricky.

Oh, my God.

Um...

I-I think that's about it.

I-is there anything else

I should say?

No, that's great.

Great job.

Who wants to go next?

What?!

At least she didn't have kids.

Yeah, that's

what I was thinking.

- Me, too.

- So what?

That doesn't matter.

She was still a human being

just like any of you.

- What was her name?

- Beth.

Maybe we shouldn't say

our names.

Why not?

How does it help?

What's the point

in talking at all then?

No, no names. He's right.

We don't make this harder

than it already is.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean,

if it's anonymous, it's...

what? Easier to kill everyone?

That's not

what I was gonna say.

- I'll say it then.

- It doesn't matter.

Names aren't necessary.

Someone else should speak.

How about you?

- Me?

- Yeah, You're next in line.
